can be seen in museums throughout the world. Kashmir has a long history of carpet making, influenced by the Persians. Pure wool and woven
and silk carpets are exquisitely made, and can be bought for a fraction of the cost that one would pay in the west. Each region has its own
specialty; such as the distinctive, bright coloured Tibetan rugs, available mainly in Darjeeling.

brasswork (often inlaid with silver), canework and pottery. Papier Mache is a characteristic Kashmir product, some decorated with
gold leaf. Marble and alabaster inlay work, such as chess sets and ornamental plates, are a specialty of Agra. Good leatherwork
buys includes open India sandals and slippers, besides lugguge & baggage accessories.
